The Latin text, with an Introduction and full commentary, of Book XIII of Ovid's Metamorphoses.
'This is a volume of which both Hopkinson and Cambridge can be
proud.' The Classical Review
'Metamorphoses Book XIII, one of the most 'Greek' books of the
Ovidian poem, has received a commentary by a distinguished
Hellenist, a commentary which turns out to be one of the best Latin
examples in the Cambridge 'green-and-yellow' series … a fresh,
exciting and perceptive reading of this important book. It will be
a precious tool for all Ovidian scholars.' Journal of Roman
Studies
'This edition of, and commentry on, Book XIII of Ovid's
Metamorphoses ...strikes me as particularly satisfactory and
commendable... There are very few things I miss here...' Arctos
